PREFACE. 



i 



This work is designed especially^ but not 
exclusively^ for the younger classes of Sab- 
bath-schools. It embraces a general and 
connected account of the most important 
events recorded in the Old and New Testa- 
ments. The answers to questions are short, 
simple, and, as far as practicable, in Bible 
language. In the New Testament, the ques- 
tions on the Evangelists are taken from them 
all collectively, and not in the order of any 
one in particular. Such a general view of the 
contents of the Bible seems necessary, as an 
'ntroduction to the study of particular por- 
ions of it. 



4 PREFACE. 

The series of Union Questions, in sixteen 
volumes, published by the Society, is now used 
more or less extensively by all evangelical 
denominations, and is found well adapted to 
the development and illustration of divine 
truth. This little manual may be regarded 
as introductory to that series. 

j|@^ The chapter and verse containing the 
answer are stated whenever it is practicable ; 
and the teacher can enlarge the course of 
instruction at his discretion.

Each volume has the texts ^i the Common English Version of 
1611 and of the Revised Version of 1 88 1 I with the American Com- 
mittee's renderings) in parallel columns at the foot of each page. The 
texts and comments are so arranged as to facilitate quick reference to 
any verse or clause, and special notes upon leading topics, events,

author's aim to enable the student to read these portions of the Bible 
as if ho were by the Sea of Galilee, in Jericho, or on the slopes of 
Olivet with the Lord surrounded by disciples, thronged by the inuiti- 
tudes seeking to hear and be healed-an Oriental, in Oriental iands, 
among Oriental customs.
